University Park § 1470-03 establishes that landlords bear broad responsibility for keeping rental premises in compliance with the Village Code and all applicable federal, state, county, and local laws. The provision also makes landlords financially responsible for any Village expenses tied to providing utilities or services to the property, including garbage and debris removal. Additionally, landlords must promptly pay all fees and fines arising from Village ordinances—including those under Chapter 1464—and must complete any required repairs in a timely, workmanlike manner consistent with applicable law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1470-03, a compliant property owner generally keeps the premises aligned with the full range of applicable codes and regulations at all times, not just at the point of leasing. Operators typically track and promptly settle any fees or fines assessed by the Village under Chapter 1464 or other ordinances before they become overdue. When repairs are required by the Code or other applicable law, compliant landlords initiate them promptly and see them through to completion using proper workmanship standards.

Section § 1470-03 establishes that tenants have a right to occupy premises that a landlord is obligated to keep in compliance with the Village Code and all other applicable laws, including completing required repairs promptly and properly. If a landlord appears to be failing these obligations—such as neglecting repairs or allowing code violations to persist—tenants may have grounds to raise those failures in relevant proceedings or file a complaint with the Village of University Park. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help residents understand what options may be available under § 1470-03 and related provisions.
